New program to recycle analogue TVs

Residents in regional Victoria will have the opportunity to turn in their old televisions when the State Government starts its TV recycling program.

Over the next four weeks, people will be able to dump analogue televisions at council recycling centres in Horsham, Nhill, Mildura, Swan Hill, Bendigo, Ballarat, Colac, Hamilton, Sale, Shepparton and Wodonga.

Environment Minister Ryan Smith says the program will also help stop televisions from ending up in council landfills.

"Certainly there's limited landfill in Victoria and we need to make sure that things go into landfill don't have to go into landfill," he said.

"If there's an opportunity to recycle anything at all, I think it should be supported and this is great opportunity to enable that to happen."
